I've been watching Anne with an E and I can't believe that anyone (funkymbti) has her typed as 4 sx/sp. She's overly positive, idealistic, optimistic and reframes everything to be positive. She cares about belonging and connection and being understood. 4s are highly negative, self absorbed, alien, even with a 7 fix, even healthy 4s. Most of the population are at unhealthy to average levels anyway. She also cares about rules, which is a superego indication. I'd say she's 9w1, possibly 7 and 2 fixes, triple positive triad. I'm still deciding on her tritype, but that's my impression. She might also have a 6 fix. She's probably social dom, because she focuses on relationships, fitting in, inclusion and connection. Sexual dom is all about getting ahead of the sexual competition, peacocking, attraction, repulsion. She's also trying to include others and gives space for them. Very 9. Another swerve away from 4 is on the first episode of season 3, upon being complimented on her hair, she replies that she likes it more now that she was complimented. She wants to know the tribe's word for family, another example of wanting to belong. A quote from Anne: "It's funny how people are so quick at pointing out differences, but there's so many ways we're all alike." 9999999! She's always saying how just she loves everything and is so enthusiastic, empathetic and caring. Positive outlook, very not 4. Actual 4s focus on the negative, enjoy being alone and would not describe themselves as naturally empathetic. Anne is constantly smiling and happy, especially when she's with her friends.
Many 9s and 6s are redefining what it means to actually be a 4. I shared a link earlier about this topic. 9s and 6s are far more common as well, just like sensors in mbti. 8,1,5,and 4 are the rarest. Most enneagram teachers I've spoken with have only met a handful of each, so it's understandable why there isn't a clear depiction of what they look like.
Here is a link to enneagrammer's type 4 description. You'll see that they emphasize 4s being negative, focused on their own feelings, not wanting to be understood or fit in. https://www.enneagrammer.com/type-4
